UMaine police charge three with underage drinking in separate incidents

ORONO, Maine — Three University of Maine students were charged with underage drinking in separate incidents Thursday, UMaine spokesman Ron Lisnet said Friday.

Both incidents took place in Somerset Hall, Lisnet said.

Just after 9 p.m., campus police responded to a report of underage drinking in Somerset Hall. When they got to a dorm room, they found Gregory Forest, 18, the resident of the room, to be in possession of alcohol, Lisnet said.

Forest was issued a summons while three others in the room weren’t charged, Lisnet said.
